INSTRUCTIONS FILTER 2250, 2260

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions

should be observed, including the following.

a)

READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

b) DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care

should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquar­ium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not
attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an author­ized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

1) If the appliance falls into the water,

DON’T reach for it!

First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components
of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
(Non-immersible equipment only)

2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,
immediately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible equip­ment only).

3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should
not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to
bewet.

4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or da-maged
in any manner.

5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle
getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of
a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto
the receptacle or plug.

A ”drip-loop”, shown in the figure below, should be arranged by
the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a
receptacle. The ”drip-loop” is that part of the cord below the
level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is
used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in
contact with the receptacle.

If the plug or socket does get wet,

DON’T unplug the cord.

Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power
to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of
water in the receptacle.

c) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by

or near children.

d) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as

heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.

e) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,

before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never
yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to dis­connect.

f) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of

attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

g) Do not install or store the appliances where it will be exposed to

the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

h) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed

before operating it.

i) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

j) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating

should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the
appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

k) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never
use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Exception: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance
that is not provided with a polarized attachment plug.

socket and adjust vertically. Screw union into filter cover, place pump
on base plate so that the elbow connection is inserted into union.

Align pump and secure to base plate with 4 self-tapping screws and
washers supplied. Screw union nut to union, tightening with light pres­sure. Screw in pressure side union.

C Place lower lattice screen (long lugs facing downwards) in the filter
canister and install filter compound (E). Place top lattice screen (short
lugs facing upwards) in position. Fit sealing ring on filter cover and in­stall complete filter cover / pump assembly on filter canister. Secure
cover with fastening screws, making sure they are tight.

D Install top cover so that the two fastening clips engage the recesses
in the filter cover handles.

To remove the top cover, press in the two fastening clips below the
handles and push upwards simultaneously.

E Filter compound formation, from base upwards:
Install EHEIM FIX or EHEIM MECH to a depth of approx. 3 – 5 cm as

the lowest filtration layer.

Fill the accompanying net bag with EHEIM SUBSTRAT or EHEIM
SUBSTRATpro or EHEIM LAV, as the main mechanical-biological
filtration compound, and install in the filter canister. The net bag fa­cilitates subsequent handling for cleaning operations.

Install approx. 3 cm EHEIM FIX as the top layer. Except when carrying
out short-term filtering after adding medication, please do not use
cotton wool, which soon becomes clogged with the high flow rate
through the filter.

Charcoal is only advisable for short-term use if it is necessary to
filter out unwanted substances when the filter is new or after the
addition of medication. It should be replaced by the specified filter
compound formation after a maximum of 3 weeks. Never re-use old
charcoal.

English

F Place the filter below the water level, ideally beneath the aquarium.
Take care to ensure that the pump receives sufficient ventilation.

Pressure side installation:
Secure the jet pipe to the rear aquarium panel with the aid of the two

suction pads, at a sufficient distance from the surface to ensure good
oxygenation (1) or surface movement (2), depending on type of instal­lation. The outlet elbow should be secured to the jet pipe with a short
piece of hose, the elbow being led over the edge of the aquarium. Con­nect the outlet elbow and pressure side union of the filter with hose.

G Suction side installation:
Fit the intake pipe and strainer together, connect the elbow with a short

piece of hose and secure the intake pipe assembly to the aquarium
panel with 2 suction pads. Connect the elbow to the intake side hose
connector on the filter with hose. (See also fig. J).

Operation:
Release the pressure hose from the jet pipe. By suction on pressure

side (or using the EHEIM suction device, order no. 4003540), draw
water through the end of the hose and over the rim of the aquarium
until the filter is functioning fully of its own accord. Now reconnect the
pressure hose to the jet pipe and switch on the filter by plugging it into
the power supply.

H Always disconnect the power supply before carrying out any clean­ing or other operations on the filter.

To clean the filter, pull off the hose from the intake pipe and empty the
canister into a bucket or allow it to drain. Then, and only then, remove
the filter cover. Remove filter compound (clean or replace) and clean
the appliance. For the care of the centrifugal pump, refer to the accom­panying pump instruction leaflet.

The filter canister on model 2260 can be emptied direct by attaching a
hose to the drain tap, if required.

Cleaning of the pump:
Remove the connection bend, unlock the pump lid and remove all parts

as shown on the drawing. Clean the pump pipes with a set of cleaning
brushes (order no. 4009570 for 2250 or 4009580 for 2260). Clean the
pump parts under running water and then reassemble in the same
order.

Note: All hose connections must be checked at regular intervals for
correct fitting.



Only to be used indoors. When working in water, dis­connect the mains plug. The connection part of this pump
cannot be replaced. If the wiring is damaged, the pump must
no longer be used.

5 cm en tant que couche de filtration la plus basse.

Remplir le filet livré avec la masse filtrante d’EHEIM SUBSTRAT,
d’EHEIM SUBSTRATpro ou d’EHEIM LAV mettre le tout dans la cuve
du filtre. Le filet simplifie le nettoyage postérieur.

Introduire env. 3 cm d’EHEIM FIX comme couche supérieure. Ne pas
employer de l’ouate – sauf pour une filtration de courte durée (et après
un ajout de médicaments) – étant donné qu’elle s’encrasse très vite
lors d’un débit élevé.

Le charbon d’emploie uniquement pour une utilisation de courte
durée, si des substances indésirables doivent être adsorbées après
une nouvelle installation d’aquarium ou après un ajout de médica­ments. Au bout de maximum 3 semaines, il doit être remplacé par la
structure de masse filtrante décrite. Ne jamais réutiliser le charbon usé!
